[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the answers.

To 12:55, thanks for the perspective on letting the kids know beforehand. That's one of the things I've been wondering about, the best way to break the news.

To 13:38, DH and I are WFH due to COVID, so we've been sort of tag-team watching them (though not as well as we'd like). The younger one is also in half-day pre-school, which is in-person. We are going to start full day for him while we figure out our next option. Full day right now isn't really full day, though, because they have reduced hours due to COVID.

The kids, especially the older one, are definitely asking about her. My MIL will likely come stay with us just to spend time with the kids while we figure out what's next...though her visit hasn't been confirmed yet.

I know everyone will be okay in the end, but I also know it'll be a rough transition. Their nanny was sobbing on the phone last night when she told us what she's decided, and DH and I are both sad to see her leave. We definitely intend to keep in touch via FaceTime etc, but for little kids I don't think that's quite the same.[/quote]
